and i believe that advanced economies, systemically important economies must be sensitive to the lower impact of their policies. >> also speaking on the sidelines of the g-20, australia's deputy prime minister dismissed talk of a currency war, but did admit that a stopping aussie/dollar is a concern and key to australia's economy. >> we saw a huge crash in commodity prices in the second half of last year and that relied heavily on our revenues. and part and parcel of all of that was doubts about the future of chinese growth. but if the chinese economy is growing 7.5% or 8%, that's still very strong growth. it's good news not just for australia, not just for the region, but for the global economy. the chinese economy is something like 40% larger than it was at the end of the 2007 when it was growing at 10. so with an economy growing at 8 or just below 8, it's still making a significant contribution to global growth. >> have we got a better balance now in terms of austerity versus growth in terms of a coordinated g-20 agenda? >> look, i was pleased to hear the discussion about the econom

we're expecting the eurozone economy to contract another 10.2% this year. that's not that far away from the consensus. we expect that you get continued divergence within the eurozone and germany, which had a very soft patch at the end of the last year is picking up and that's supported by the pmi data whereas other economies in europe are stag nating or weakening. >> wouldn't it be easier if they were all stag nating or weak? even if germany is weak, the central bank can come in and say we have to be more accommodating. but if they're holding in okay, that puts more of the onus on the periphery or even france, that means the economies would like more saurt and might not get it. >> but this divergence in europe is part of the recovery process. germany needs to see stronger than after growth at other countries effectively deflate in order to get these big imbalances to reverse over time. and that's really part of the recovery process. we don't think that the european economy itself needs to be strong for european equities to perform well. let's face it, last

europe is a very tough economy. and we have the highest market share in servers of any competitor in europe, so when europe is soft, we're disproportionately hurt in that business. so we thought it was better to not get out over our skis, you know, one quarter we got three more to go, and we want to make sure we're cautious, and this business changes very rapidly. >> indeed it does. let's get to pcs, because there the changes perhaps happening more rapidly than some had anticipated. sales to consumers down 13%, sales of pcs and notebooks deteriorating quite rapidly, more rapidly than you anticipated. this is a painful transition. how do you manage it and what do you tell people to expect when you're just talking about a unit that does 10% of your operating profit, at 2.7% margins? >> yeah. so there's a couple of reasons we really like this business. and first of all, there is a huge transition taking place. the reason we've never called this business the pc business, we call it the personal systems business. it's an
